    http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/t-15729
    
    Extractions: Part of the students attending the lecture will be high school students like me. I want to do a little bit preparation before attending the lecture, so I would like to know what knot theory is. Also what is a Parlor Game? Can anyone please provide me with some elementary information about these or just give me some links with simple descriptions? Thanks. HallsofIvy Well first, it doesn't have anything to do with general physics! This might have been better in the "mathematics" section. "Knot theory" is, in its simplest sense, just what it says: imagine tying a rope up in some complicated knot: Is it possible to tell whether that knot is or is not the same as another knot which was tied in a different way? In particular, there are a variety of "knots" which look very complicated but such that, if you pull in a certain way, they collapse into nothing (magicians love those!). All such knots are essentially the same as no knot at all. Is there any way to tell that two knots are the same?

    Extractions: Pergunta de Alexandre Tavares Baraviera, Rio de Janeiro, mestre em fisica, aluno de doutorado Qual a importancia da teoria de nos (knot theory) para a fisica? Ela funciona apenas como uma boa inspiracao para novas ideias matematicas ou de fato tem aplicacoes em modelos mais realistas? Resposta de Daniel Doro Ferrante, estudante de pos-graduacao do IFUSP Caro Alexandre, A Teoria dos Nós tem aplicações sim em física (e aplicações até importantes!), mas eu duvido que o exemplo que eu vou citar seja realista o suficiente para que, por exemplo, um leigo entendesse. A principal aplicação da KT (Knot Theory) em física é na Gravitação Quântica como proposta por Abhay Ashtekar (dê uma olhadinha em: www.phys.psu.edu/GRAVITY/gravity.html ). Desta forma, fica um pouco mais fácil de se resolver alguns problemas técnicos da teoria, como a Renormalização, por exemplo. Quanto a funcionar como inspiração para novos modelos matemáticos, isso já acontece há algum tempo; há aplicações de KT até em modelos de Transição de Fase em Mecânica Estatística!

86. Knot Theory With KnotPlot
    knot theory with KnotPlot. Equilateral Stick Numbers. This research is in collaboration with Eric Rawdon of the Department of Mathematics  
    http://www.colab.sfu.ca/KnotPlot/ktheory.html
    
    Extractions: This research is in collaboration with Eric Rawdon of the Department of Mathematics at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. We've used KnotPlot to find equilateral polygonal representatives of all knots to 10 crossings with the fewest number of sides. This number of sides is known as the equilateral stick number. It can be compared to the stick number, which is the same quantity when the constraint of being equilateral is dropped. Surprisingly, for 242 of the 249 prime knots examined, all have an equilateral stick number equal to their stick numbers. Title: Upper Bounds for Equilateral Stick Numbers Authors: Eric J. Rawdon and Robert G. Scharein Abstract: We use algorithms in the software KnotPlot to compute upper bounds for the equilateral stick numbers of all prime knots through 10 crossings, i.e. the least number of equal length line segments it takes to construct a conformation of each knot type. We find seven knots for which we cannot construct an equilateral conformation with the same number of edges as a minimal non-equilateral conformation, notably the 8 knot.

89. FUNCTORIAL KNOT THEORY
    26 FUNCTORIAL knot theory Categories of Tangles, Coherence, Categorical Deformations, and Topological Invariants by David N Yetter (Kansas State University  
    http://www.worldscientific.com.sg/books/mathematics/4542.html
    
    Extractions: Almost since the advent of skein-theoretic invariants of knots and links (the Jones, HOMFLY, and Kauffman polynomials), the important role of categories of tangles in the connection between low-dimensional topology and quantum-group theory has been recognized. The rich categorical structures naturally arising from the considerations of cobordisms have suggested functorial views of topological field theory. This book begins with a detailed exposition of the key ideas in the discovery of monoidal categories of tangles as central objects of study in low-dimensional topology. The focus then turns to the deformation theory of monoidal categories and the related deformation theory of monoidal functors, which is a proper generalization of Gerstenhaber's deformation theory of associative algebras. These serve as the building blocks for a deformation theory of braided monoidal categories which gives rise to sequences of Vassiliev invariants of framed links, and clarify their interrelations.

I studied knot theory in summers of 95 and 96 with Prof. Prakash Panangaden . I've written software in Scheme that calculates some knot polynomials (HOMFLY, Kauffman, Jones, Alexander) and a presentation of the fundamental group. I used Linktool for NeXT for entering links graphically and I'm looking for other software that displays edits or displays knot diagrams, especially something that will work with many platforms.

    Extractions: These terrible puns are the output of the Knot Theory Mini course I co-taught at the 2000 Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics with Emily Peters (undergrad UC, now grad at Berkeley). Read aloud for maximal effect. All that Knot Theory for Naught! Tie him (Wing Mui) into a Wing Knot. We must define a knot, because if we do not, then we do not know what is a knot and what is not a knot. John "Still Chicken" Choi: "Called the 'trefoil' knot. Let's say it again, the 'trefoil' knot. ...Called the 'figure 8' knot... let's knot say it again..." Amanda Redlich: "Knots to you." "She's knots. We're knot able to..." Wing: "Knot Theory Chapter 4. Making a knot not a knot, or an unknot, or not... knot?" "2 types of knots? knot!" John Darius Mangual: "...in knot theory we may be knot sure or not sure." John Basias: "Our not rules for not polynomials." Emily: "Knotting my knitting; I mean not knotting; I mean infinknitting; I mean making bad puns." Wing: "Not cool? That is not true for all knot theorists not working on knotting knots but not slacking in their studies in the theory of knots not for naught." No, These Are Knot Puns

     knot theory (190) course, Fall 2003. MondayWednesday-Friday from 2.00-2.50 in room HSS 2321. knot theory. A closed loop of string in 3-space is called a knot.  
     http://math.ucsd.edu/~justin/190.html
     
     Extractions: The traditional first course in topology deals with ``point-set topology'': the study of metric and topological spaces, continuity, compactness, connectedness, and other properties beginning with ``c''. This branch of the subject is really just a part of analysis, and while it is important for the foundations of the subject and can help you learn to write proofs properly, it can all seem very abstract and dry. Where are the doughnuts, coffee cups, pretzels, rubber sheets, knots and so on of popular topology? Traditionally, we teach the more geometric, visual side of the subject after teaching all the basic tools. This is not unreasonable, but it does take a long time to do properly, and is quite hard to motivate because it turns history on its head. After all, people have been using and thinking about knots for thousands of years, but the definition of a topological space is only a hundred years old. Fortunately it isn't necessary to work this way round. With a little care we can do quite a lot of knot theory without needing to talk about the foundational aspects of topology. I intend to start this way, and then try to develop a little bit of the abstract theory only if we really start to need it later on.
